Robot Chicken: Season 5 (October 25th)

[detective392]

Robot Chicken: Season 5 will be released on October 25th.

Are they clucking serious?! Adult Swim will once again go against the television grain this fall when the network releases nine full episodes of Robot Chicken to DVD and Blu-ray before they ever see the light of day - err, dark of night? - on air. In an unprecedented move, fans of the Emmy Award-winning stop motion series from co-creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich will be able to watch nine episodes from the upcoming second half of Season Five on DVD before they air on Adult Swim. With the second half of Robot Chicken's fifth season debuting just days earlier, Robot Chicken Season 5 will be released on DVD and Blu-ray beginning October 25 and will feature all 20 uncensored episodes from the series' two-part fifth season, including nine never-before-seen episodes and, as Robot Chicken fans have come to expect, hours and hours of bonus features, including exclusive Blu-ray and DVD features.

In another series' first, the Robot Chicken Season 5 Blu-ray release marks the first time an entire season of Robot Chicken will be available in high-definition. Among the season's 20 episodes that include the series' signature sketches fueled by biting pop culture parodies are episodes with titles torn from big screen marquees including "Saving Private Gigli," "Schindler's Bucket List" and "Casablankman." Created by Seth Green and Matthew Senreich's Stoopid Monkey Productions, the duo executive produce and write the smash hit comedy with Chris McKay directing, co-Executive Producers Doug Goldstein and Tom Root heading the writing team. The series was awarded an Emmy Award last year for Outstanding Short-Format Animated Program while Green received his second nomination for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance.

The Robot Chicken Season 5 DVD and Blu-ray will carry the suggested retail price of $29.98 and $39.99 respectively, and will feature a host of bonus material including:

Seven fully animated deleted scenes
Over 50 deleted animatics with video introductions
Episode commentary with celebrity guests
Behind the scenes featurettes
On-air promotions


Additionally, the Robot Chicken Season 5 Blu-ray will exclusively feature alternate audio takes from various sketches throughout the fifth season, while the DVD will be the only place fans can download an exclusive, uncensored version of the "Blue Rabbits" song.
